Waldo Cemetery
Waldo, Josephine County, Oregon

Waldo Cemetery is quite difficult to locate. Go south from I-5
on Hwy 199 (Redwood Hwy) 55 miles, turn left on Waldo Road. Just
about 2.5 miles east, you will see a large graveled area on your
right. Go southwest on the track nearest Hwy 199. You will navigate
a shallow ditch, then reach an area with a hill on your left and
the road continuing. Park here and walk up the hill. You cannot
drive to the cemetery. This is not a trip to take in the winter,
the track is impassable and cell phones don’t work.

This cemetery was associated with the town of Waldo, which
has vanished. The cemetery was essentially demolished by the “peace
and love” crowd in the 1960s. There were never "plots", just haphazard
burials.

I visited and transcribed this cemetery in the summer of 1999
from all existing stones. I am not finished adding to this list.
